What’s New in This Release of Horizon 6

• VMware Horizon View 6.2.1 is a maintenance release. Some known issues from previous releases are resolved. For more information, see Resolved Issues.
• To improve security, SSLv3 is no longer supported. By default, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are enabled. TLS 1.0 is enabled for outgoing connections to support vSphere 5.x, but disabled for incoming connections, including those from Horizon Clients. This will affect Horizon Clients 3.3 and earlier versions, which support only TLS 1.0. If the vSphere version is 6.x, it is recommended that TLS 1.0 be disabled for outgoing connections. To support Horizon Clients 3.3 and earlier, it is necessary to enable TLS 1.0. For instructions on configuring security protocols including TLS 1.0 on View servers, see Configuring Security Protocols and Cipher Suites on a View Connection Server Instance or on a Security Server in the View Security document.
• By default, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are enabled and TLS 1.0 is disabled for PCoIP connections. Horizon Client 3.3 and earlier versions use only TLS 1.0. To support Horizon Client 3.3 and earlier versions, you can enable TLS 1.0 for PCoIP connections by following the instructions in KB 2130798, Configure security protocols for PCoIP for Horizon 6 version 6.2 and later, and Horizon Client 3.5 and later.
• By default, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are enabled and TLS 1.0 is disabled for Blast Secure Gateway and the HTML Access agent. You can configure the security protocols and cipher suites for both components. See Configuring Security Protocols and Cipher Suites for Blast Secure Gateway in the View Security document and Configure Security Protocols and Cipher Suites for HTML Access Agent in the Horizon Client and View Agent Security document.
• Linux desktops now support clipboard redirection, single sign-on, and smart card redirection. The Setting Up Horizon 6 for Linux Desktops guide also documents additional bulk-deployment scripts.
